International Institute for Strategic Studies: Israel - World's Fifth
Largest Arms Exporter 

By Ran Dagoni, Washington 

Israel ranks fifth among the world's largest arms exporters, according
to the latest "The Military Balance", an annual report published by the
International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London. Defense
News carries figures from the research in its latest issue. 

Israeli sources quoted by the weekly estimate the value of weapons and
security services to be exported by Israeli companies in 2000 at more
than $2 billion. According to IISS, arms deals transacted by Israeli
companies in 1999 amounted to $1.6 billion. 

According to figures researched by Tel Aviv University's Jaffee Center
for Strategic Studies, Israeli companies are signatory to deals,
cooperation agreements and contracts for providing security services
with 48 countries in five continents. More than 79% of the weapons
systems manufactured in Israel is exported. 

According to the report, Israel's military customers include several
countries on which the US has imposed arms export restrictions. Apart
from China, whose military ties with Israel have been extensively
reported, the list also includes India, Myanmar (Burma) and Zambia.
